Dive Too High
"Ready to jump?" Rodney asked into the headset on his helmet as the plane flew high in the clouds.
"Almost, let me get this one ready," Danny replied on the other end.
Fifty year old Daniel Fenton was the world's greatest sky diving instructor and supervisor in the United States. Taking Rodney's advice years ago, Danny got a license to skydive, became a teacher, and started giving diving sessions to other people. When he was thirty, Danny offered a pilot job to Rodney. To his delight, Rodney quite his renovating job and became Danny's chief pilot (he had taken a flying course with Danny in college). Using his powers as a safeguard, Danny made sure no one got hurt, thus he was the only one in the state who didn't have someone die on him.
A brunette journalist was shivering with fright as the raven haired man strapped her up. She was strapped in an orange jumpsuit with a big black backpack behind her.
"I'm not sure about this. The rumors of you catching the person when they fall in midair are way beyond me. People even say that you jump off without a parachute!"
Danny chuckled at that statement and gave her a pat on the back. "Don't worry, I have my methods. I promise you won't get hurt. It's not an empty promise, I swear."
"So kid, you must love showing off that you can actually fly with your powers. You aren't afraid of people knowing your little 'secret' these days?" Rodney asked as Danny walked up to the door.
"Rodney, you have to stop calling me kid… I'm fifty, and you're younger than I am. I think it's been too long for secrets. It's better to put them to use to help people enjoy a sport like this without dying."
"Aww… but that was the thrill of it!"
Danny sighed and turned off the mic, signaling Rodney that he was about to jump.
"I change my mind… let's have an interview on the ground. I don't want to watch you kill yourself just to prove some rumors."
"Too late!" Danny announced, pushing her out of the door and following after her.
The diving plane flew off without them as they started their zero gravity fall. Danny was almost tempted to plug his ears as the woman screamed. "Help! Help! HELP!"
"Just calm down and spread out your limbs Miss." Danny informed.
She quickly let her limbs relax as she realized that they were far from facing the ground. After a while, she started giggling and enjoying the feel of the wind. Soon it was time to let the parachutes out.
"Miss, you have to pull the cord on your left side."
She quickly reached for the cord and pulled, sending a dark blue parachute out of the backpack and drifting her in the wind. Suddenly a blue ecto blast cut through the parachute, sending the girl screaming in panic past Danny. She was curled up into a ball from shock, making her plummet faster to the ground than her instructor.
"Crap!" Danny hissed as he straightened up and dove after her.
It didn't take long, but by the time he had grabbed the journalist they were too close to the ground for comfort. "I DON'T HAVE A PARACHUTE AND YOU DON'T WE'RE GOING TO DIE!"
Danny just rolled his eyes and transformed, stopping their decent with a startling halt.
Noticing the lack of falling, the woman opened her eyes and looked around. She seemed to be hovering. Then she looked up and screamed. A muscular glowing man with white hair and piercing green eyes held her around the waist.
She was about to scream again, when the mystery man spoke again. "Miss, you have to stay calm. I can't get you back to the plane, but if you scream again, so help me…"
"Mr. Fenton?" she asked, her voice hoarse.
"Hi…" he replied with his signiture smile.
A familiar deep laugh cut off their introductions. Danny looked around and saw who it was, just noticing that his ghost sense had gone off while he was diving, but failed to notice it because the wind was cold when falling.
Skulker flew a foot away from them with his arms up yet again. "I will have your pelt ghost child!"
Danny gapped at him before exploding with visible annoyance.
"Seriously Skulker, Seriously? You just randomly show up after all these years? Your worst than the Box Ghost! At least he had some intelligence to get married and live a peaceful… dead… life! Do I even look like a kid?"
Skulker shrugged and charged up his lasers again. "Well, I can't exactly call you ghost man, or ghost human can I? Besides, if you haven't noticed, it's hard for me to let go."
"Oh really?" Danny said sarcastically.
With the journalist hyperventilating and holding onto his body in a death grip, Danny battled Skulker. The battle ended in less than a minute, with Skulker's armor falling to the ground below.
XXX
Back at the office, Danny sighed and filed papers with Rodney. Today was slightly more eventful than most, especially when Danny told his friend about his run-in with Skulker.
"You serious? You're talking about the robot ghost that attacked us while we were in college? He needs to kick back and do something more productive with his time like… shooting stuffed bunnies."
"I doubt stuffed bunnies are worth his time when he could have his 'rarest specimen with its head on his wall,'" Danny argued as he filed the last paper.
Closing up shop, he said goodbye to Rodney and headed back home.
Little did he know, Skulker would hunting him forever, whether he liked it or not.
